Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has extended the date of ensuring compliance with the revised Clause 49 of the Listing agreement to December 31, 2005.

Accordingly, the date for ensuring compliance with the revised Clause 49 of the listing agreement has been now extended upto December 31, 2005.
